Muscle tone
Muscle tone is the continuous and passive partial contraction of the muscles. It helps maintain posture and is often present during REM sleep.
Unconscious nerve impulses maintain the muscles in a partially contracted state. If a sudden pull or stretch occurs, the body responds by automatically increasing the muscle's tension, a reflex which helps guard against danger as well as helping to maintain balance.
Some people use the term muscle tone to refer to how "in shape" a person is. Technically, what they are referring to is muscular strength or a low fat-to-muscle ratio. "Toned" in that context means "fit" or "trim."
